It works on NTFS of course. It worked good for me.

I recently used GetDataBack for NTFS from Runtime Software on a 500GB
drive. Windows gave me the option of deleting the partition and starting
again but the app got all the data off with no failures at all.

If the deleted files have been overwritten you may have problems getting
the full file(s) back but it's worth a go.

Its not even possible to do that reliably if the drive is formatted HPFS.

I have used (google) pc inspector file recovery
free, and it worked(another duplicate file wiper wiped
a bit to well....)

for files that have just been deleted 'pc inspector file recovery'
works fine but if the drive is going bad or you've lost the FAT table or
similar
then getdataback is needed and it about £60 I think

Recovering deleted files is pretty reliable... so long as
it's not on a partition that's been written to in the
interim. Another good reason not to put anything important
on a Windows OS resident partition.

Wrong.

I dont do that with the PVR files that do get deleted ocassionally in error and cant be recovered reliably.

Take the key off the ole keyboard?

Care to explain why you have trouble with that in
particular? Undeleting a file that hasn't been overwritten
is pretty routine.

No thanks, I have to delete the files to make room for new recordings.

Wrong, as always, when its on an NTFS formatted partition.

I've used EasyRecovery Pro in the past to recover files deleted off pen
drives. I've also used it to check how secure Eraser is in wiping a company
hard disk before it was given away - Eraser did a very good job :-) Even the
raw recovery mode in ERP couldn't get anything back. I've also run it, out
of interest, on my PC's project hard disk and I was amazed what it managed
to bring back from the mists of time.

But make sure you a) freeze the hard disk NOW and b) don't install on the
same partition as you are trying to recover from.

If you have lost a serious amount of data, go out and buy another hard disk,
install vanilla Windows XP and ERP on there, and then try to recover the
damaged hard disk.

One of the best solution in the market is Easy File Undelete:

http://www.munsoft.com/EasyFileUndelete/

It uses unique modern algorithms to recover files that other software
either recovers incorrectly or is unable to detect.

Clearly Rod is talking total bollocks. Yet again.
